I am marking this issue as a bug for https://updates.orgmode.org/ but it 
may be just non-intuitive behavior of org-element parser. "::" inside an 
item forces the list to be considered as descriptive one. Element which 
parsing started earlier has higher priority. See the following recent 
thread for similar issues:

You may add zero-width space between colons, see
info "(org) Escape Character" 
https://orgmode.org/manual/Escape-Character.html but it may require 
post-processing filter to remove zero-width spaces.

Another approach is to insert an export snippet:

- [[id:cbce567a-861c-4d9b-8b2f-5933afadb864][ryans01 :@@org:@@: No Zero 
Days]]
